`IINITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

EDWIN LEACI-I, OF NORWICH, CONNECTICUT.

MUSIC-S'IOOL.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 21,262, dated August 24, 1858'.

To all fw/zom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, EDWIN LEAoi-I, of Norwich, in the county of NewLondon and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and ImprovedMusic-Stool; and I do here by declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to theannexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figurel, is a central sectional elevation of my invention. Fig. 2, is a planor top view of ditto, the seat being removed.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the twoiigures.

The nature of this invention consists in construct-ing the stool ofmetal in a novel way as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby astrong, light, ornamental and economical stool is obtained.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct myinvention I will proceed to describe it.

A, represents the base of the stool which is of cast iron and of annularor zig-zag form. In the drawing it is represented as being of sinuous orof zig-Zag form. To the under side of the base balls or feet a, areattached.

B, represents wrought iron rods which, when bent in proper shape, formthe body of the stool. The body is constructed as follows. The rods B,are cut of equal and proper length made perfect-ly straight and a shortpiece of metal Z), equal in diameter to the rods is inserted betweenthem at a proper point and wire bound around the rods B, both above andbelow the metal Z9. The rods are then placed in a sand mold and a bossC, is cast around the rods at the point which encompasses the metal I).The rods B, are then bent as shown in Fig. l, the lower parts below theboss being curved outward forming portions of circles and having theirlower ends attached to the base A. The upper parts of the rods B, arecurved outward and upward with a slight inclination and the Lipper `endsof the rods are secured in a tlanch o, of a cast metal nut D, in which ascrew E, is fitted and works. The nut D, is encompassed by a sheet metaltube or cylinder F, which extends down to the boss C.

To the upper' end of the screw E, a metal disk cl, is attached and tothis disk the seat G, is secured. The seat of course is to beupholstered in the usual or any proper way.

From the above description it will be seen that a strong, light, andneat stool is obtained. The wrought iron rods B, of which any propernumber may be used will firmly support the screw E, and seat G, the eastiron boss C, base A and the flanch c, serving to retain the rods inproper form, one portion being dependent on the other owing to themutual relation existing between them.

I do not claim broadly constructing a music stool of metal for stoolsthus constructed are incommon use, but

Having thus described my invention,.

what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let-ters Patent, is,

The rods B, annular or serpentine base A, boss C, nut D, and screw E,when arranged or disposed substantially as shown for the purpose hereinset forth.

EDWIN LEACI-I.
